FAQ
A company founded by GPs that recruits UK-qualified GPs into clinics across Canada. We're starting in Ontario, with British Columbia and other provinces to follow.
Yes. The difference is how we work. We're UK doctors: one is Canadian and going through licensing; the other is a GP trainee planning the same move. We visit every clinic in person. We check that your values fit the clinic's. And everything we do for you is free.
Our support is free. Everything we do for GPs, including licensing guidance, work permit guidance, relocation and family support, costs you nothing, because clinics pay us. You pay the official government fees yourself: your work permit application, biometrics, and Canadian medical registration and exam fees. Immigration lawyer fees are commonly paid by the clinic that sponsors you. Some clinics, often in rural areas, also help with relocation costs, but this varies, and we'll tell you what's on offer before you commit.
No. We'll work hard to find the right clinic for you, but hiring decisions are made by the clinics.
No. Provincial medical regulators make those decisions. We help you prepare, but we are not a regulator.
No. The Canadian government makes immigration decisions. We can explain how the process works in general terms, but we are not immigration advisers and we don't give immigration advice. For specific questions we signpost you to immigration lawyers we work with. Your sponsoring clinic works with immigration lawyers on your sponsorship.
